The teenager is very arrogant

Chapter 88
Yi County, located on the west side of Zhuo County, is adjacent to the Gaoshan Kingdom. This place is above the military, and is known as Little Yizhou.Because of the grain production and population in Youzhou as a whole, Yi County can be compared with a county with the strength of a county!
This is also the reason why Wang Kang, the magistrate of Yi County, is eyeing Zhuo County.

Previously, when Xin Zhao was fighting Karasuma, Gong Jing of Zhuo County had stated in the letter that Wang Kang of Yi County was very threatening!

Today Zhu Tong asked for a fight, Xin Zhao naturally would not refuse to agree, with a swipe of a pen, he asked Zhu Tong to do what he wanted, and if there was any difficulty, he could report it.

Let's say that after Zhu Tong got his reply, he immediately ordered Zhang Ming to sit in Zhuo County, command the army and horses, and go to Yi County with Wang Qun and Chen Ting.

Zhang Ming, courtesy name Wenke, was good at wielding long lances, and once served as the magistrate of Hu County under Liu Yu's command.Together with Zhao Xin, they resisted Karasuma in the warehouse. Because Liu Yu was indifferent to Zhang Ming and all his subordinates, he was frustrated and felt that Liu Yu was not the man to achieve things, so he sent his subordinate Chen Ting to pay a visit. Xin Zhao, sent a letter, wanting to take refuge in him.

Xin Zhao agreed and let Zhang Ming continue to lurk under Liu Yu's command.

Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan were defeated in successive battles, and the generals under his command suffered heavy losses, so Zhang Ming was appointed as the forward general to take charge alone.Shangguan Qiu was able to quickly investigate and understand the complex situation of the family in Yuyang City, and Zhang Ming's credit was also indispensable.

Now that Xin Zhao has completely controlled Yuyang and most of Youzhou in his hands, Zhang Ming naturally submitted to Xin Zhao justifiably.

Wang Kang of Yi County, courtesy name Lu Yu, came from a poor family when he was young. He had no choice but to fight his way through the world with a sword. He did many righteous deeds and was famous among the people.During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he served under Huangfu Song and accumulated military exploits, so he was promoted to the governor of Yixian County.

Later, when the two brothers Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju in Yuyang rebelled, the county magistrate of Yi was killed by Zhang Chun, so Wang Kang was elected as the new county magistrate of Yi.In Yi County, there is a large population, food and grass, Wang Kang's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, and his eyes are aimed at the nearest Zhuo County.

Now that Xin Zhao has completely banned Liu Yu, and the news that Gong Jing dedicated Zhuo County to Xin Zhao has spread, Wang Kang immediately buried his ambition in his heart and never mentioned it again!
Unexpectedly, just because he doesn't want to touch Zhuojun, it doesn't mean that Xin Zhao doesn't plan to touch him!
Hearing that Zhu Tong commanded five thousand troops and came to attack, Wang Kang hastily summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

Two days later, there were shouts of killing outside the city, and I saw Zhu Tong sitting astride his horse, holding a fork in both hands, and a knife horizontally, looking at the world with disdain!In addition, there are five thousand armored soldiers behind him, holding bright weapons, shooting bursts of dazzling light under the sunlight!
"Hey! Wang Kang, if you don't surrender at this time, if the city is destroyed, you will die!" Zhu Tong's anger sank into his dantian, and there was a sound of thunder in his throat. The shocked soldiers at the top of the city felt their hearts skip a beat. Shoot, my God, there are such loud people in the world!
"Zhu Tong! I am the magistrate of Yi County appointed by the imperial court, why are you attacking me?" Wang Kangqiang, the head of the city, shouted while propping his neck.

Sending troops has its own name!

"Wang Kang! Why didn't I know when the imperial court named you the county magistrate of Yi? Today, if you don't open the city gate, I promise to kill you! If you surrender the city, I will protect your life!"

Hearing this, Wang Kang frowned, with a hesitant expression, and a middle-aged Confucian with a mustache and a Confucian robe beside him cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Zhao Zilin is famous for his faith, and since he has said this today, he will surrender, and he will also surrender." You can report that your life is safe."

"No! Although Zhao Zilin is famous for his faith, he is also a man of wolfish ambitions. If he surrenders, Zhao Zilin is assured of the lord?" Another person retorted.

Wang Kang raised his hand to prevent the two from continuing, but he frowned and began to think.After hesitating for a long time, Wang Kang sighed and said, "Hey...the timing is not good for me! Kaesong!"

When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they actually cheered. The corners of Wang Kang's mouth were full of bitterness, and then he shook his head and smiled wryly, as if relieved!
Zhu Tong, who was outside the city and was eager to try, saw the city gate opened and Wang Kang came out alone, he couldn't help being surprised, thinking that this guy really surrendered, right?

……

One day later, Xin Zhao who was in Fan Yang got the news that Wang Kang of Yi County had surrendered, and he became very happy, this Wang Kang was very knowledgeable.Call the pen, ink and paper officials to write three letters of appointment. Zhu Tong and Wang Qun are in Zhuojun, and Zhang Ming and Chen Ting are in Yixian to recuperate and govern.

In addition, Wang Kang was transferred to Yuyang as a government official.The rest of the people under Wang Kang's command use their talents to buy people's hearts. Xin Zhao is extremely proficient in it.

After writing the letter and sending it out, Zhao Xin couldn't help but exhale and thought to himself: In the blink of an eye, it has been three years since we arrived at the end of the Han Dynasty. He has gone from poverty to being able to hold half of the sky in Youzhou.However, as one's identity and status increase, more and more troubles will follow.

Fanyang, Huxian, Yuyang, Nanzi, Zhuojun, Shanggu, Baitan, Daijun, Mahu, Sanggan, and Yixian are all in his hands. Just the officials from all walks of life, there are two to three thousand people and soldiers. The total number has also grown to 10, of which there are more than 3 recruits, but they don't even have a decent armor or a big sword.

This was Xin Zhao's biggest headache.

Because Liu Yu presided over the government affairs of Youzhou for a period of time, there was a lot of brain drain in Youzhou. Before Liu Yu's command, several generals who had joined the Karasuma alien race, in Xin Zhao's view, they were all available people!
For example, Lu Yuan, Li Gu, and Xiang Xuan who surrendered to Gongsun Zan, it is a pity that they failed to serve under his command.

In the past six months of this year, Xin Zhao has expanded extremely fast, and his subordinates are desperate for talents. Although there are many people around him who have come to work in the name of Xin Zhao's loyalty, in the final analysis, there is still no one who catches his eye. foot.

"Fuck tm, it will be straight when it hits the bow."

After thinking about it for a long time, I just felt sad again and again, so why think about it again.It’s as if I’m happy to earn 3000 yuan a month, just because I can’t help it…

The simple thing is, now that Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao have sent troops to gather in Panhe to start a war over the Jizhou incident, within a short period of time, these two heroes have no intention of worrying about Xin Zhao, and Xin Zhao is also happy about it, so that he can cultivate himself and wait for the next day.

In a blink of an eye, it has come to April.

At this time, Zhao Xin was reviewing Du Jiang's government affairs in the Yuyang government office, but Tang Miao came here from Fan Yang to ask for an interview.

After entering the hall, he looked overjoyed. Seeing that everyone in the hall was his own, he put his hands together and said, "My lord, Master Ma's oath has come true!"

"What? That's really good news! Huayue (Shangguan Qiuzi), you come to review the rest of the minutes book, Yimo (Tang Miaozi), go, hurry back to Fanyang with me, I want to see this The result of the eternal creation!"

Under the protection of Zhou Cang and nearly a hundred elite soldiers, it took half a day to reach Fan Yang. Before he could return home, he went straight to Ma Jun's laboratory.

"Master Ma! Master Ma!" Xin Zhao shouted anxiously before entering the gate.

A disheveled man ran out of the inner courtyard. It was Ma Jun. He was holding a piece of yellow paper half the size of a desk in both hands. He knelt down excitedly and said, "My lord, the technique of papermaking has been successfully improved!"

Xin Zhao excitedly rushed forward, helped Ma Jun up, looked Ma Jun up and down, and said gratefully: "Master Ma's move is to create welfare for all people in the world!"

The two were excited, but they didn't mention it, and then Ma Jun showed the paper production process in front of Xin Zhao. The materials used were really not worth mentioning. Cover up your excitement.

Why?

Gain Zhao Xin finally saw a thing from later generations, paper, how kind it looks, although he is not as good as the big white paper of later generations, and even a pencil is a hole, but he is paper after all, Paper that actually exists!
"My lord, there is only one part of this thing. If you try to cut it hard, the cost will be too high. If you try to cut it soft, it will be broken even if it gets wet. This point is really difficult to break." Before Ma Jun raised his eyebrows, he gave a deep regret look.

Xin Zhao laughed loudly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What's so difficult about this! You can use a smooth wooden board to make this book..."

Xin Zhao told Ma Jun the appearance of the workbooks of later generations. Ma Jun nodded when he heard the appearance, put a lot of papers in one place according to the appearance, and cut them neatly with a guillotine. If not, he wrote on them with a brush. Will not break also!

However, when I write on one side, the lower pages are often printed with brushes, making them all black and really inelegant.

"My lord, what should I do?" Ma Jun held the paper with both hands and asked with his head.

Xin Zhao frowned and pondered for a while, but he didn't think of any good strategy, so he had to tell the truth, and everyone couldn't hide their disappointment.

"The paper is out, and it can be gradually perfected in the future. This is the avenue of creation, so why sigh!" Zhao Xin encouraged, and everyone in Ma Jun also ignited their fighting spirit again.

One month later, Zhao Xin commanded [-] soldiers and forced Leping County, and Zhang Yang, the prefect of Bingzhou, hurriedly gathered his troops to discuss the matter of resistance.

All the people under his command said: "Xin Zhao started at the end of the century, and now his foothold is not stable. Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fought in Panhe. This is a great opportunity to destroy Xin Zhao and enter Youzhou!"

The same is true of Zhang Yang's heart, he immediately dispatched two generals under his command, Mu Shun and Sui Gu, to command [-] soldiers to support Leping, and the two armies met in Shihu County.

Shihu County is located in the northern part of the Taihang Mountains, with rugged mountains and few flat lands!
Zhao Xin's troops searched for an open space with relatively wide surroundings, no worries about water sources and back roads, and ordered to station here.Sui Gu knew that it was difficult to be prepared for Xin Zhao's arrival, so he led [-] troops at night, divided into north and south sides, and launched a surprise attack on Xin Zhao's camp.

Little did he know that Zhao Xin was already prepared, the two phases had just fought, Guan Jun led his troops out from the left flank, and Wei Lie, who had recovered from his injuries, led his troops out from the right flank, Sui Gu knew he had been tricked, and hurriedly led his troops back.

Zhao Xin led his troops out from the stronghold, the three parties came together, Suigu was defeated and returned, more than half of the ten thousand soldiers and horses were lost, and they returned to Leping, unhappy.Mu Shun scolded: "Then Zhao Xin is a general, and with just over ten thousand soldiers, he completely wiped out tens of thousands of Karasuma's army, how could he be defenseless?"

Sui Gu was speechless and ashamed.

Because of the Suigu battle, the morale of Zhang Yang's army was greatly reduced, so Suigu and Mu Shun led the troops to sit in the city, no matter how much Zhao Xin yelled and scolded, they would not go out of the city to fight!
Two days later, the siege ladder and all the siege equipment made in Yi County were finally transported to the outside of Leping City. Everything was ready, and the bombardment of Leping City began!
Fifty siege vehicles came one after another, day and night, and the defenders at the top of the city were miserable. They had lost more than ten thousand people before they met the enemy!
Two days later, the stones on the hill five miles away were almost all transported by Xin Zhao's soldiers.

Today, Xin Zhao was watching the battle at the catapult, when Guan Jun came quickly, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the road has been paved, and within two days, twenty catapults can be transported to it."

"Well, good, please Xingping (Guan Jun character) to deliver it quickly."

"promise!"

In order to avoid the attack of the catapults, Sui Gu sent hundreds of soldiers to hide under the crenels, and ordered the rest of the soldiers to retreat 500 meters into the city.Two days later, Sui Gu was squatting in the latrine, but the latrine was completely overturned, with a bang, before Sui Gu figured out what happened, his whole body was splashed with feces and urine!
Turning around to look, there was a stone the size of a human head in the pit of the hut, but the stone was smashed into the cesspit!
Sui Gu raised his head and looked around, only to see a few soldiers looking at him with snickering smiles. He didn't care about his buttocks that hadn't been wiped, so he lifted his clothes, picked up the big knife on the ground, and rushed up, whining several times, He beheaded those soldiers!

"Withdraw!!" Sui Gu held up his sword and commanded the other soldiers who were busy avoiding the stone throwing.

After retreating another 500 meters, Sui Gu and Mu Shun met at a place, Mu Shun frowned and covered his nose, "What is the smell, so pungent?"

Old Sui Gu blushed, did not explain, turned around and said: "We will retreat a thousand meters into the city, what should we do if Xin Zhao leads troops to attack?"

Mu Shun snorted coldly and said, "Then how could Xin Zhao let his soldiers be exposed to the catapult? Even if he thinks so, how can his soldiers be willing to fight wholeheartedly?"

Hearing these words, Sui Gu felt reassured, so he stopped fussing.

Half an hour later, a soldier came running from the top of the city, "Report to the general, the enemy is rushing towards the city gate, please support the two generals quickly."

Sui Gu and Mu Shun immediately jumped up and led their troops to rush to the top of the city. At this time, they were already half way up the siege ladder.

"Smash me!!"

The hand-to-hand combat began, and the fight continued until late in the evening before Xin Zhao ordered the withdrawal of troops.

That night, Xin Zhao was in the tent, frowning, staring at the map, trying to find a breakthrough. Although the main battlefield of the attack on Bingzhou was not in Leping, it would be best if he could take it head-on!
While thinking about it, Guan Jun walked into the tent with a knife, cupped his hands and said: "Master, I caught a spy just now, please interrogate."

Xin Zhao waved him in.

The soldiers dressed as common people were trembling, lowering their heads and not daring to look sideways.

Zhao Dao said, "Who are you, and why are you sent near my military base?"

The commoner didn't answer, and stretched out his hand into his arms, Guan Jun quickly grabbed his arm, took it out and looked again, but he was holding a silk book in his hand!
At this moment, the commoner opened his mouth, but he didn't have a tongue, Xin Zhao shook his head and smiled wryly, Guan Jun was fine, he grabbed a dumb person and came over.

Guan Jun handed the silk book to Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin opened it and read it, but his expression was overjoyed, then he frowned and pondered, the people in the field didn't dare to disturb, they kept guessing what the governor had read, and laughed from time to time , sometimes worry.
